Thi is the funniest thing on telly. Agree with Rory re the bit where Moss was the barman. Makes me snort even now. Even when you kmow what's coming it's still hilarious. Downloaded the last series for DP who didn't see it and I have 5 episodes to rewatch tonight. Including the one with the fire! Life is good.

Thought it was ace. This series (well, ep 1) is a bit more Father Ted than the last one, in that it's more about behaving very SLIGHTLY badly and then being punished for it by being HORRIBLY EMBARRASSED. I love the way it isn't afraid to be really broad and silly, especially after years of things trying to be documentary style no laugh track because the Office was such a massive hit. Like Nighty Night stuff, it's just really hard to watch!

Lawks, I couldn't stand Nighty Night. I mean, if you knew a woman like that in real life, you'd tell her where to stick it, wouldn't you? Not continue to socialise with her and get tied up in whoops-there-go-my-trousers-type situations.

I really hurt myself laughing at the 2nd half of ep1. Have replayed it since and it is still funny. "I'm disAAAbled" is like Father Ted "These are small and those are far away", just say it to myself and giggle. Can see it being completely ho hum to many people though

I didn't write my post very well - just in case you thought I meant the opposite, I also loathed Nighty Night. It tries too hard to shock but doesn't feel remotely real, then the IT Crowd is just stupid and broad, but the characters are genuinely recognisable. (Also married a geek.)
